Yesterday morning I headed out to my second open-to-the-community boot camp workout down under the bridge at Town Lake! Remember the first time I went to one of these, just a month ago? Attending that session convinced me to give the whole boot camp thing a go—and doing that has helped me to shed about [...]

Rough Days

Yesterday was a bad day. It just was. And for the first time in almost 5 months, I went “off-plan” with my eating and ordered and ate 2/3 of a big Mexican dinner. I wanted to eat the whole thing; guess I’m not as chompy as I used to be. Today I’ve been eating normally again; [...]

I knew I needed to get in a workout today, but I wasn’t sure how until M suggested riding our bikes down to the central branch of the town library (he had ulterior book-related motives, but never mind that)! It was 4.6 miles each way, and we had a few minor adventures getting there and [...]

I’m so relieved that the scale isn’t stuck for good, and I think that the two boot camp sessions I participated in (Saturday and last night) helped nudge the number down. My total weight-loss so far is 36.5 lbs. Let me pause for a moment [...]

A few photos of me in all my glory (i.e., baggy sweats and no makeup) at the boot camp I attended Saturday morning: In the right and left pictures, I’m doing wall balls with a 6-lb medicine ball (you can’t see the “wall,” but just above me there was a concrete partition). In the center shot [...]

Looking Back at Day One and Moving Forward

Today I came across some notes I jotted down during the first week of my weight-loss effort, and I wanted to share some thoughts I had on Day One (September 15, 2009) here: I really believe that I will do this. I have to do this. Being 80 lbs overweight might not put me squarely [...]
